Just finished a poem:
En ödslig vecka blir till två kvartal
Och ensamheten har blivit total
Allt är långt förbi, allt är långt förbi
Allt är långt förbi, allt är långt förbi
Bussen går in mot stan, regnet vräker ner
I hopp om ärligt svar, frågar ännu fler
Ge mig ork att glömma, ge mig ork att glömma
Ge mig ork att glömma, ge mig ork att glömma
En mållös promenad, slösar hundra spänn
Jag har ett tomrum, ingen riktig vän
Dränk mig ner i floden, dränk mig ner i floden
Dränk mig ner i floden, dränk mig ner i floden
Se på dem de är precis som jag
Men varför får jag ingen lycklig dag?
En ödslig vecka känns som hundra år
Utan den lycka som jag aldrig får
Allt är långt förbi, allt är långt förbi
Allt är långt förbi, allt är långt förbi
TRANSLATION: (kinda)
An empty week turns into two quarters (six months)
And the loneliness is now total
Everything has passed away...
The bus goes into the city, the rain is pouring down
In hope of an honest answer, asking even more (even more people)
Give me the power to forget...
An aimless walk, wasting a hundred bucks
I have an emptiness, no real friend
Drown me in the river...
Look at them, they're just like me
But why can't i have a happy day?
An empty week feels like a hundred years
Without the happiness i never get
Everything has passed away...
|
That's pretty depressing my friend. I hope that it isn't autobiographical. |
Nah, not really. I mean, i am a bit depressed, but that to THAT extent. And i rewrote a few lines to make it less predictable and better

I am also capable of writing happy poems  The blue sky changes to a new shade No clouds in sight, nowhere Just the sound of the ocean waves and the mosquitos on my scalp Nice and calm The sun gets too strong, too strong for me If i shade my eyes now, i'll see you The colour of your skirt and the light from our sun Was all white The flowers pollen made the air heavy In the grass, my guitar, so start to sing Hear my melody about my utopia You and i Touched by my song you take my hand We walk with eachother along a beach I think you're nice and the colour is green Everywhere Sunlight makes both of us happy But moonlight makes you blue The wind in my hair, in some strange way makes Me so happy Green is the colour of your soul It means that you're good to everybody There are no us-and-them, that's just something Someone made up NOTE THAT IT DOESN'T RHYME, THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S A TRANSLATION FROM THE SWEDISH ORIGINAL

Hey guys, back in an internet cafe, but I think this one is running IE 6 :/
I have to say, you English really have a sense of style. Maybe I've just been overexposed to DC, but we don't have anything as cool as Admiralty Arch/Trafalgar Square and the House of Parliament in America. Plus the Cenotaph, which actually hurt to look at.
And Abstrakt, I am glad you have stopped having atrocious avatars.

Me neither. I just posted in 30 random threads and polls at first, plus made a silly post made out entirely of emoticons in the Mariah Carey, then returned to the site six months ago.

I started going through the Welcome Newbies section just for fun in the reverse order. I've gone through about 15 pages and I've seen about five active members' posts. There was Jean and Friede, Abstrakt, Dalezilla and someone I forgot. It seems that a pretty damn tiny percent of registered members actually end up staying. |
You saw my thread? Oh my god...

I've changed my mind. The new dredg album is great, but inconsistent. 1. Catch Without Arms  2. The Pariah, the Parrot, the Delusion 1/2 3. El Cielo 1/2 Haven't heard Leitmotif.

Nah. I don't really like it. Catch Without Arms is so much better. El Cielo is proggier, which is why many proggers will like it, but I don't like it too much.

Well honestly I disagree. I think the songs on El Cielo are better whether or not they are more progressive. Catch is also amazing. The new one I haven't heard in full yet but it has real hits and misses there. I hate that they digitalized Gavin's voice so much. It's so perfect without any manipulation.

I heard Catch first and thought that it was amazing. I don't know exactly why I don't like El Cielo, but I just don't. The new one has some tracks that are absolutely amazing, but some of them are just ok. A shame really...

I'm not listening to it now. Two days ago. I saw them live and they were amazing. The album is great too, but they're much better live.

I listened to Scale the Summit this morning, Animal Collective just before, and now it's The Dear Hunter.
